Shop for Dargel boat parts and accessories

Dargel Boats specializes in manufacturing Scooters, boats intended primarily for fishing in shallow water. Russel Dargel is credited with creating the Scooter, and his company has been building and evolving the unique boat model since 1937.

Dargel’s Scooters allow fishermen to travel through any type of river or swamp where the water is shallow. With many modern day advances, Dargel Boats now feature an array of technologies, such a sonar, which is extremely useful in shallow water fishing. Dargel Boats are also built with aluminum frames, which makes their boats durable and resistant to corrosive water damage.

Dargel Boats also equip their Scooters with powerful motors and a unique tunnel design of the hull. The tunnel design provides for a smooth and steady ride, and makes it easy for their boats to enter and maneuver in shallow water. The manufactures also include coolers, GPS units, and fishing poll rests on their Scooters.
